Abstract
Just as the entrepreneurial economy is one in which entrepreneurial activity serves as a driving force underlying economic performance, the entrepreneurial society provides the institutional, policy and cultural context conducive to entrepreneurship, which in turn, shapes economic performance. By providing the foundations of the entrepreneurial society, this addresses an inherent paradox – the impact of entrepreneurship on economic performance is embedded in a considerably broader range of influences. This suggests that a focus solely restricted to institutions, policies and culture promoting entrepreneurship is too narrow and may not necessarily generate the public policy goal of a stronger economic performance. This paper concludes that rather than a simple and singular focus on entrepreneurship, effective entrepreneurship policy needs to be compatible with the other main forces shaping and influencing spatial economic performance.

Résumé
Si l’économie entrepreneuriale est une économie dans laquelle l’activité entrepreneuriale joue un rôle moteur dans la performance économique, la société entrepreneuriale fournit le contexte institutionnel, politique et culturel propice à l’entrepreneuriat, lequel à son tour conditionne la performance économique. Cela étant, l’article met en lumière un paradoxe inhérent à la société entrepreneuriale – l’impact de l’entrepreneuriat sur la performance économique dépend d’un plus vaste ensemble de facteurs d’influence. Un tel constat suggère que restreindre les politiques publiques au cadre institutionnel, politique et culturel favorisant l’entrepreneuriat est trop restrictif et ne les amène pas nécessairement à renforcer la performance économique. L’article conclut que pour être efficaces, les politiques publiques en faveur de l’entrepreneuriat ne peuvent se limiter à une conception simple et singulière de l’entrepreneuriat mais doivent être compatibles avec les autres forces qui conditionnent et influencent la performance économique inscrite dans l’espace géographique.

Resumen
Del mismo modo que la economía emprendedora es una economía en la que la actividad emprendedora sirve como fuerza impulsora del rendimiento económico subyacente, la sociedad emprendedora proporciona el contexto institucional, político y cultural propicio para la iniciativa emprendedora, que a su vez, configuran el rendimiento económico. Al esclarecer las fundamentos de la sociedad emprendedora, el artículo pone en relieve una paradoja inherente a la sociedad emprendedora: el impacto del emprendimiento en el rendimiento económico está imbricado en una gama considerablemente más amplia de factores de influencia. Esto sugiere que un enfoque exclusivamente restringido a las políticas públicas y al entorno institucional, político y cultural que promueven el emprendimiento es demasiado limitado y no necesariamente contribuye al objetivo de política pública de un rendimiento económico más sólido. El artículo concluye que, en lugar de un enfoque simple y singular sobre el emprendimiento, las políticas públicas de fomento de la iniciativa emprendedora, para ser eficaces, deben ser compatibles con las otras fuerzas principales que configuran e influyen en el rendimiento económico inscrito en espacio geografico.
